plexconnect when using smart DNS

Hello all

i have successfully installed and using OpenPlex and really loved it

since i am located outside the US i have been using blockless so as to access Netflix

the problem is that i use manually configuration of DNS from blockless service and not the ones provided for Plexconnect

my question is can i use with at the same time.?i mean plea and the DNS provided so as to use Netflix?

https://forums.plex.tv/topic/129119-plexconnect-and-dns-server/?hl=netflix

oh thank you so much!

i was trying to modify this file but have trouble doing so

do i open this with textedit/notepad

or a more complex  editor?

this is the thing that confuses me

also will i use open plea as i use to do?no extra modifications?

It's a text file. You have to stop PlexConnect before updating it. I'm not a OpenConnect user, but I think that OpenConnect allows you to stop / start PlexConnect in an orderly way.

Try replacing your Settings.cfg with a fresh one from Baa’s github and then edit just the line:


ip_dnsmaster = 8.8.8.8


Replace the 8.8.8.8 with the DNS provided by your DNS spoofing service.

Just change the 8.8.8.8

Just change the 8.8.8.8

have changed just that to the blockless DNS saved it run openplex

Trailers app on Apple tv works great

Netflix says its unavailable though :(

Hmm. In that case I would try restarting the ATV from the Settings section and see if that helps.

i have done so many times :(

i dunno what else to do

the worst case scenario is that overtime i want to use one of the two service i have to change the dans to the one that is available for each o them :(

Did you actually restart Plexconnect after the change to the settings.cfg file. You keep mentioning OpenPlex which is just a helper app, not the actual Plexconnect code, and a restart of Plexconnect is required.

I finally resolved the issye

it was an issue with thee blockless website that I had to refresh the ip that I sas given which means. That the  settings on plexconnect were. Correct!

everything works great now!!

thanks for your help!

Glad that you have solved it. Please be aware that Netflix started blocking access through DNS redirection services -> read

Moody, There has been a bit of debate about whether this is actually happening. Both Netflix and DNS services have denied it is anything more than a temporary issue:

Institute, thanks for the clarification.

guys i have read about this and the response that Netflix had regarding  this issue 

my personal opinion is that they know people use DNS well some of them and hey will still let this go...still they earn money from this so thee is no reason stopping it

they will stop it if they loose money :D
